Jose don't run shyt at Chelsea or any other club he's been at, other than the first team, he ain't a real boss like Wenger, Jose is nothing more than a captain.

That's why he's always trying to shyt on Arsene.

he did run things at Real, tbf

and we see how much of a disaster that was.

Sounds like Herrera isn't going through. Sid Lowe:

Athletic Bilbao remain steadfast in their refusal to voluntarily sell Ander Herrera. Manchester United’s ability to sign the midfielder will depend on their resolve to test the rules governing buy-out clauses in Spain and the response of the league and the tax authorities to their actions.
Here, it becomes very complicated in theory.
Every player in Spain has a formal rescission clause, registered with the league which fixes the amount at which a player can unilaterally end his contract and move to another club. That player deposits the amount stipulated in his clause (in Herrera’s case, €36m) with the league and is then free to move.
Clubs agreed in principle that if another club pays the buy-out clause they will sell at that total price, meaning that the player does not actually pay the money: it effectively becomes a transfer like any other. But when it is a hostile bid, two other scenarios open up: one, that the club accepts the buy-out fee but, as all Spanish companies do, adds VAT (at 21%). And two, when the club does not accept the fee at all, the player deposits the money at the league himself.
Of course, in practice Herrera does not have €36m lying around, so United could in theory pay the money on his behalf. Yet that could be challenge by both the tax authorities and the league itself as the player would strictly be liable for 50% income tax.
None of this has been tested and some experts believe United would face no legal challenge. And yet the whole transfer is complicated enough to cause a few headaches on both sides.

He's talented no doubt but Zeman is known to get his forwards 15 goal seasons while everything else crumbles.

So FSC is dead and buried.

First big test for Moyes. Ferg was a player strong-arming specialist. He needs to put on his goon boots for this one.
